तिरासी (tiraasii)

numeral The number eighty-three (83) -- a straightforward cardinal numeral with no other senses.
Sense 1 : the number 83
numeral
Frequency: medium
Cultural Note: Hindi numerals in this range are notorious among learners for having no clean pattern -- each one (like तिरासी (tiraasii)) is its own small memorization task, so most learners lean on Devanagari digits (83) in daily life (prices, phone numbers, addresses) rather than recalling the word form instantly.
Common Mistakes: 1) Like all Hindi numerals from 21-99, तिरासी (tiraasii) must simply be memorized as a standalone word -- it is not built predictably from तीन (tiin, three) and अस्सी (assii, eighty) the way English '83' is assembled from 'three' and 'eighty'.
